that is an important part of our education program. we are proud to sponsor a big television even here tonight. >> i am sure that all the university presidents in kentucky as a group are concerned about employment in the state of kentucky, keeping students in state after they graduate. the kentucky employment rate is a little over the national average. what is your believe about what it will take to turn the kentucky economy around? >> that is a big one. centre college is growing, we are adding staff and faculty. it is more about pulling together. i think that the leadership in kentucky's colleges and universities is as strong as it has ever been. there is a spirit of cooperation with our city and county government. i am convinced kentucky's future is better than it might at first appear because of the quality of people and their willingness cooperate and move us in the direction of common good. if i was a betting man, i would get some money on kentucky and our capacity to get this turned around at a higher rate of speed. ex-president
